NOTE Minimum temperature is the lowest ambient temperature to which the equipment

can be subjected. Maximum temperature is the highest temperature of the fluid that can

directly contact the equipment.

Design for temperature ratings above 1 2 1 °C (250 °F), e.g. classifications X and Y (see Table G.1), shall

account for the effects of temperature on material strength (see Annex G for guidelines).

4.3.3 Material Classes

4.3.3.1 General

Equipment shall be designed with materials that meet the requirements specified in Table 3.
